Is there a way to revert to the default settings of the project. I was trying to import a project from github something didn’t work and now my entire project is messed up (but I want to keep the project name )

It looks like the import messed it up before a checkpoint was created, so I can’t revert it. I renamed the project to gratis-paper-old, which you could also do - when you expand the project menu in the upper-left, the name is editable. Now you can create a new project and rename it to gratis-paper.
